My 'point is' that it's a follow up story to the post about the killing last month down south. The article alleges that if the gun was'nt removed from him it MIGHT have saved his life. (Not that I care,It's one less scumbag out there)

it was ,from what I understand, a pistol Donaldson bought himself for protection legally held on a RUC/PSNI issued carry permit.But as he was involved in 'Stormontgate',the permit was revoked by the PSNI.
I think the anti-gun law's for 9mm,.45,ect cal pistols did'nt take effect over here.My uncle is a member of a local gun club & I think he still has his shorts.
